Chapter Three: Cuffing Time

Miroku spun the bottle and it landed directly between Kagome and Inuyasha. He looked at them both and said, "Truth or dare?"

They looked at each other questioningly and Miroku clarified, "Both of you, truth or dare?"

They glared at each other and looked back to Miroku and said, "Dare."

He smiled and said, "I dare you two to be handcuffed together for a month."

Kagome and Inuyasha's jaws dropped.

He continued, "Unless Inuyasha or Kagome has a date, you have to be together. The only time you will be able to not be together is when going to the bathroom or taking a shower."

Kagome stared, open mouthed, at Miroku. "WHAT?! You expect me to be handcuffed to this ASSHOLE! For a MONTH!? What are you thinking! We only have one class together! How are you going to pull this off? I refuse!"

Inuyasha nodded along with Kagome, perhaps the only time the two had ever agreed.

Miroku responded, "You won't be handcuffed together during school. But as soon as it ends, you will be stuck together."

Kagome jumped up, raven locks flying about her before settling against her back. "I refuse!"

Inuyasha jumped up next to her, "I refuse too!"

Miroku laughed at her. "You can't. It was a dare. Your dare starts tomorrow, at two."

Kagome's face twisted from one of rage to one of distress as she pleadingly looked at her best friend, silently begging her to change Miroku's mind.

Sango just laughed at her friend's obvious pain and said, "Kagome, it was a dare. You've always been one to play by the rules." Sango laughed again and dodged the couch cushion her friend threw at her head.

Kagome sat back down, fuming, but refused to leave because she knew Sango really wanted to be there to be with Miroku, and no matter how angry she was at that pervert, she wouldn't hurt her friend like that, so Kagome leaned back onto the couch and fumed silently.

Inuyasha, seeing Kagome's quiet surrender, decided to pummel his best friend later, and sat back on the couch next to the woman he constantly tortured, Even if I torture her, she does look pretty hot right now. No! Bad Inuyasha! Don't think these things about Kagome Higurashi, you hate her!

As the night progressed, Inuyasha and Kagome's moods went from unhappily fuming, to seething with rage. When the night finally drew to a close Sango bid Miroku farewell, his hands wandered a little too far, so she slapped him in the face, leaving a nice handprint mark on his cheek. Sango grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her outside to the car before she could inflict additional damage to the houshi.

In the car on the way home, Kagome turned to Sango, "Why can't you change his mind! Inuyasha and I hate each other! We can't be in the same room for two minutes before all Hell breaks loose! Please change his mind! Please! I'm begging you."

Sango just shook her head and replied, "Kagome, it's time you and Inuyasha stopped hating each other, this may help. Just try to be nice and you'll be fine."

Kagome glared at her friend, but didn't deign her with a response. As they continued to drive Kagome thought of her impending doom. I have to be handcuffed to that jerk for a month. A whole month! How is this going to work? We can't stand each other! I can't spend a month with him! He's too much of an asshole for that! I cannot do this! I am going to kill Sango and Miroku with a pen for doing this to me! Why couldn't they let me be alone in my misery! I hate Inuyasha and Kikyou, and they hate me. Why couldn't they just leave it alone?

Sango saw her friend's emotions play across her face and giggled softly at her friend's obvious agony. Sango proceeded to pull her car up in front of her house, and the two girls got out and went inside, Kagome glaring at Sango the whole way.

It was around one in the morning when they arrived home and Kagome went to check on Souta. She checked the guest room where he usually stayed first and frowned upon arriving and not seeing him there. She moved to check Kohaku's room, knowing that her brother could be sleeping with his best friend.

Kohaku's room was completely yellow and green. He had green bunk beds, a yellow rug, and his walls were striped yellow and green. He had a gigantic yellow bean bag in one corner and his slaying gear, which was yellow and blue in the other. Kagome smiled as she opened the door and sure enough, Souta was occupying the bottom bunk of Kohaku's bunk beds. She smiled softly and walked in and kissed him on the forehead.

Kagome left Kohaku's room and went to Sango's. Sango's room was painted in reds and blues, her color palette going from a reddish pink, to an indigo color. Kagome knew that her best friend had red and black slaying gear, but had maintained that she and Kagome shared the same favorite color, which was blue. Sango had a blue bedspread and her walls were painted reddish pink. Her curtains were a soft red and her bean bag was indigo. Sango's slaying gear stood in the corner opposite the bean bag.

Kagome and Sango normally always shared a room when Kagome stayed over. Sango had a trundle bed that she pulled out for Kagome. Kagome joined Sango in the bathroom to take off her makeup.

Sango looked over at her friend and smiled a little, Kagome still wasn't talking to her. Sango nudged her a little. "Kaggie, you can't be mad at me forever."

Kagome sighed and turned towards Sango, "I know, but still, I don't want to be stuck with Inuyasha!"

Sango hugged Kagome, "I know, I know, but maybe it's for the greater good?"

Kagome scoffed, "What greater good? I'm stuck with that pig-headed, rude, asshole for a MONTH!"

Sango laughed, "I know. But maybe something will work out."

"Yeah, and Naraku won't be pro-." Kagome froze mid-sentence, eyes wide.

Sango poked her, "Kagome?"

"Kami! We forgot about Naraku! How will I explain this to him? How will I explain how it happened! He doesn't know we went to the party! Oh my god he is going to kill me! I am so dead Sango, so dead!"

Sango grabbed Kagome's shoulders and shook her. "Kagome calm down! Naraku isn't going to find out about this!"

"How can he not?! I have to be handcuffed to Inuyasha as soon as school ends!"

"We will figure out a way around it, you can say you're riding home with me, unless you have a date. Remember the rules. You have to be handcuffed together unless you have a date, you have to use the bathroom, or you're taking a shower. Take a deep breath Kagome."

Kagome took a deep breath and responded, "Okay, but won't he start asking why he can never take me home unless it's a date? You know how protective he is!"

"I know Kagome, I know. Just calm down, it will all work out for the best. Just trust me. We will figure something out. Don't worry about it now."

Kagome nodded her head and proceeded to take deep breaths. She grabbed her toothbrush and added some toothpaste and started brushing her teeth with Sango. Once the two girls finished they went into Sango's room and Kagome sat down on the bed and put her head in her hands.

Sango sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "It will all be okay Kagome, don't worry about a thing."

Kagome nodded and Sango moved to her own bed, she turned off the lights before getting under the covers. Sango pulled her comforter up to her chin, and Kagome did the same, the two girls bid each other goodnight and closed their eyes. Sango immediately fell asleep, while Kagome stayed up a little longer, worrying about her predicament, before deciding that she needed sleep as well, and closing her eyes.

As the morning light poured into Sango's room, Kagome opened her eyes and sat up a little in bed, looking around her. She recognized she was in Sango's room and had stayed with her because of the party last night. She remembered the dare and immediately fell back onto the bed and put her pillow over her face. She groaned and closed her eyes and promptly went back to sleep, hoping to forget the entire ordeal.

Sango woke up a little after Kagome and looked over to her friend's bed and saw her with a pillow covering her face. Sango giggled a little and rolled back over after looking at the clock, it was only nine in the morning; she determined she could sleep in, it was Saturday after all.

Both girls shot up in bed about two hours later to the smell of something burning. They looked at each other and ran downstairs to see Souta and Kohaku trying to cook breakfast.

The smell was emanating out of a pan on the stove and Kagome grabbed an oven mitt and dove for it, quickly snatching it off of the burner and dumping the offensive-smelling food into the sink before turning the water on, making sure not to put water on the pan incase the boys had put oil in it so she wouldn't start an oil fire.

Sango had ushered the boys away from the stove and sink while Kagome took care of the mess. Kagome turned off the burner and set the pan on a cold burner across the stove from it. Kagome turned to look at the boys who were both red and looking at their feet. Kagome gently asked, "What happened?"

Souta looked up at her and replied, "We wanted to make breakfast for you guys but we burned it on accident."

Sango and Kagome giggled and hugged their brothers. Sango replied, "It's okay, we appreciate the effort, but we'll make you guys something, okay?"

Kohaku grinned up at his big sister, and eagerly nodded his head. "That sounds great sis."

Sango smiled down at him and Kagome and Sango ushered the two boys into the living room to watch the television, while the girls prepared breakfast. They decided they were going to make bacon, pancakes, and eggs.

Sango and Kohaku's parents had died four years ago, when Sango was thirteen, while they were on a demon slaying mission. Many demons still lived in the wild, rather than adopting a more humane way of life, and when they started terrorizing small towns and villages, the demon slayers would go out and exterminate them.

Sango's parents were called to slay a large neko demon that had been stealing livestock and young women from a small village. The villagers were unable to use their weapons to kill the demon so they called in the slayers. The demon surprised Sango's parents and took them out when they were distracted.

Sango had a very forgiving nature and tried to not blame all neko demons, but Kagome knew Sango was still rather upset about the whole ordeal and was slightly wary of Naraku because of that incident. Sango and Kohaku lived alone since their parents died and Sango, much like Kagome, took care of her younger brother. That was one of the reasons the girls were such good friends.

However, when Sango's parents died they had left a large account for both children to use, because they knew the dangers of their job and they had everything worked out in case something ever happened to them. In their will they stated to make Sango an emancipated minor and allow her to live alone and take care of her brother even though they were not adults. Both children had trust funds for when they turned eighteen and college funds. Sango's parents had been very responsible with their money and only used what was necessary, so Sango and Kohaku had enough money to last them for many years without working.

As Kagome and Sango continued to make breakfast, they heard the noise of cartoons and figured that the boys were watching Saturday morning cartoons. Once breakfast was finished, Kagome cleaned the pan that had been burning and cleaned the rest of the dishes while Sango brought the food to the kitchen table, and told the boys to come eat.

Once everyone was seated and had begun eating, Kagome looked at the kitchen clock and almost started hyperventilating. She turned to Sango, "Sango! It's already one o'clock! How can I do this? How will my mom not find out! Oh my god! What are we going to do?"

Sango grabbed Kagome's shoulders, while Souta and Kohaku looked at Kagome like she was speaking another language. Sango replied, "We will go to Miroku's and get the handcuffs and everything will be okay. Kagome don't stress about it, it's just a month."

Souta tugged on Kagome's sleeve, "Kags, what is happening?"

Kagome turned towards her younger brother, "Miroku, stupid lecherous monk that he is, dared me to be handcuffed to Inuyasha for a month!"

Souta looked incredibly surprised, "But you hate him Kags."

Kagome put her head on the table. "I know I do! And now I'm stuck with him. For a month! A whole thirty one days! Why couldn't this have been February or something?!"

Sango laughed a little, "Well Miroku would have made it thirty one days any way, you know that right?"

Kagome sighed and replied, "I know."

Souta and Kohaku laughed at Kagome's sullen expression. Kagome glared at the two boys and they instantly stopped laughing. Sango giggled a little at her friend and said, "Kagome, it will be okay, now finish eating and then go get ready and we'll go to Miroku's house."

Kagome nodded and picked up her fork, too aggravated to eat with chopsticks. Once she finished, she took her dishes to the sink and went to Sango's bathroom to take a shower. When she got in she immediately started thinking, How am I to spend a month with Inuyasha? THE Inuyasha Takahashi!? He's such an arrogant prick! I can't spend two minutes with him! How did anyone think this would be a good idea! I can't even pretend this could maybe work. He hates me and Kikyou hates me! I don't understand how any of this will work out! I am going to castrate Miroku for doing this to me! Maybe Inuyasha will help with that? I wonder…I'll ask him. I'm sure this is one thing we can agree on.

With that final thought Kagome smiled, and finished showering before getting out and throwing her hair up into a ponytail, because she didn't feel like drying it, and going to Sango's room to get dressed. She pulled on a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt. She didn't feel like putting any effort into getting dressed, seeing as how she didn't want to impress anyone.

Sango walked into her room about five minutes after Kagome had finished getting ready to find Kagome sitting on the trundle looking slightly triumphant. Sango hesitantly poked her in the shoulder, "Kagome?"

Kagome turned and smiled at Sango, "Yes?"

"Why do you look so happy?"

"I decided I'm going to get Inuyasha to help me castrate Miroku!" With that parting statement, Kagome hopped up and grabbed her bag and went out of the room calling, "See you in the car."

Sango stood there, sweatdropping, What did we get this girl into?

Sango checked the clock; it read 1:45 PM. She grabbed her keys and ran out to the car after saying goodbye to Souta and Kohaku and got in the driver side of the car.

Kagome was looking out of the window and occasionally humming a song, Sango looked at her friend like she was an alien for, no doubt, being so excited about castrating Miroku. Kagome stopped all her bouncing and humming as they pulled up to Miroku's house (excuse me, mansion). Sango parked the car and turned to Kagome. "You ready?"

Kagome nodded, "As ready as I'll ever be."

Sango replied, "Then let's go get you cuffed!"

Kagome sighed and got out of the car. She and Sango made their way to the front door. Kagome knocked, not realizing her life was about to change forever.
